Monarch of Evernight: Eighty-Seven Forbidden Transactions
bsp;This time, the tavern was really completely quiet. People avoided Qianye's eyes, lowered their heads and started drinking.
The old man behind the bar smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, boy, there's no need to be so cruel, right? His nose is still very useful."
Qianye had already sat down in front of the bar and said calmly: "But his head doesn't work very well."
"Are you here just to provoke?"
Qianye said calmly: "I'm here to do something, but if someone provokes me, then the guy's nose just now is the answer I will give." He narrowed his eyes and said with a hint. : "I'm not at all interested in the grudges between those hairy guys and vampires, as long as they don't get in my way."
The wrinkles on the old man's face were almost all squeezed together. He muttered something and did not continue the topic. Instead, he gave Qianye a glass of wine.
Qianye picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The wine was extremely spicy, and several flavors were mixed together, creating an indescribable feeling. But after lingering on the tip of the tongue for a while, a strange sweetness began to emerge in the mouth.
Qianye raised the wine glass slightly, shook it slightly, and watched the clear and pure wine create a ripple on the wall of the glass. It is such a completely colorless liquid, but it will break down into several different flavors when it enters the mouth. He stared at the curved cup body quietly, and the blurry shadows of most of the tavern guests behind him flashed before his eyes one by one.
This tavern is more dangerous than it seems. After the wretched man shouted just now, half of the people, including the old man behind the bar, reacted with the dark force!
These people have either completely fallen to the dark side, or have deep connections with the dark race. Of course, there is also a very small category, that is, the **** hunters. They make a living by hunting the dark races, and they do not hesitate to embrace the dark force in order to gain more power.
Such a place actually exists in Darkblood City, and it seems to have quite a history.
Qianye has always heard of this kind of place before, but this is the first time he has experienced it. It is actually a stronghold of the dark forces underground in Dark Blood City, a truly gray area between black and white. Many things that cannot be found from the pure dawn and eternal night camps can be obtained here.
This is an underground trading point between humans and dark races.
In Dark Blood City, there is not only one such trading point, some are larger than here and trade more things. However, no matter in Dark Blood City, the upper echelons of the Expeditionary Force, or even the Empire, they turned a blind eye to the existence of such trading points.
On the one hand, the transaction volume is very limited, and a large part of it is various intelligence, both human and dark races. In comparison, more information leaked from the dark race side. In this way, these trading points have become an important source and transmission channel of human intelligence. In an environment like the Evernight Continent, they often even become one of the most important channels. On the other hand, some strategic materials that are very important to mankind can also be obtained through such channels. However, under the iron-fisted control of the empire, the strategic materials flowing out from these channels are quite limited.
The dark race also needs a large amount of strategic materials, such as black crystal, red crystal iron and black crystal iron. Naturally, the more the better. Since they can't get it from these semi-public trading points, they will go through other channels, such as Wu Zhengnan. This is also the real reason why the upper echelons of the empire are intolerant of forbidden transactions. Because that is the passage that is truly completely hidden in the darkness. The number of black crystals flowing out from there is not controlled at all and is only driven by the purest economic interests. Over time, quantitative changes will turn into qualitative changes.
Qianye shook the blurry figures on the cup to pieces, then raised his head and took a big gulp of wine, letting the spicy and hot wine burn all the way to his heart and lungs. At this time, the golden blood that had been swirling around his heart in his body had just calmed down a little.
No one else present would know that what that wretched man said was true. As soon as Qianye stepped into this place, the golden blood reacted extremely strongly. When the man came closer, he began to swim outward uncontrollably along the blood veins, and exuded the aura of the Force.
Qianye activated the Dawn Force to emit mist-like crimson Force light purely for concealment. The little golden light the man inhaled was the aura of golden blood. Even Qianye didn't expect that uncontrolled golden blood would be so poisonous to the owner of the dark force. Even a tiny bit of breath would immediately decompose flesh and blood and plunder power almost instinctively.
The moment the golden blood came into contact with the man's Force, Qianye sensed some feedback information from the Force, and finally understood why both parties reacted so strongly. The man's dark force attribute turned out to be in the werewolf area.
When Qianye finished the glass of wine, the old man at the bar seemed to feel something, raised his head and said: "The person you are waiting for is already here, go in! He is behind that door. ”
Qianye followed the direction of the old man's finger and walked into an inconspicuous small door on the side of the bar. He went deep and saw a small room at the end of the passage. The door was open, and a thin middle-aged man was sitting inside. His face was slightly majestic, with an obvious shadow between his eyebrows.
Qianye walked in directly, sat down in front of the middle-aged man, and said, "I didn't expect to see a person with demon blood. What should I call you?"
"Jorgen. You can also call me Black Owl, this name is more widely known."
"Mr. Black Owl, I heard that you can give me the necessary help?"
"It depends on what you need. But before we talk about more in-depth topics, can I take a look at your token?" The black owl spread his hands and said: "You know, if you are in our line of work, If I wasn't careful enough, I would have died countless times."
Qianye took a simple jade ring from his middle finger, put it on the table, and pushed it towards the black owl.
Jorgen picked it up carefully and input a trace of force. Two threads as thin as gossamers lit up on the inside of the ring, and a pattern appeared on the surface, with an eagle head and crossed swords in its mouth. He breathed a sigh of relief, pushed the ring back to Qianye, and said, "It is indeed the token of the Far Eastern Wei Clan, the most senior deacon of the Supervisory Academy. Okay, I understand, and I will provide you with any service within my ability."
Qianye quietly took the ring and put it back on his finger. Before he left Qinlu, Wei Potian sent someone to deliver it, along with several addresses and information including this tavern. Now Qianye understands that even if this trading point is not affiliated with the Wei family, at least the Wei family has enough influence in it.
"I want to check some transactions, transactions with dark races." Qianye said.
Qianye's words obviously made Jorgen a little nervous. He moved his hands on the table with his fingers crossed, and asked: "Who is it related to? What kind of transaction?"
"Black Current City, 7th Division of the Expeditionary Force. Forbidden transaction."
"Forbidden transaction!" Jorgen took a slight breath and said slowly: "You should know very well who are the people who can conduct forbidden transactions. Do you really want to continue?"
"Yes." Qianye's tone was calm but decisive.
"It's really a coincidence. I happened to know the most recent one." Jorgen took out a piece of paper and quickly drew on it. He quickly sketched a map, marked a certain location, and then Write a date. He handed it to Qianye to look at, then lit the paper on the fire and watched it burn to ashes.
Qianye had already written down all the details, then took out a black crystal and handed it over. Jorgen put it into his pocket unceremoniously and said: "Good luck to you."
Qianye quietly left through the back door under Jorgen's guidance and disappeared into the night.
In the next few days, Qianye lived a very peaceful life. He practiced every day except for training. He almost never went anywhere again until the news from the Hunter Guild came through.
Jorgen provided the precise location and time of the transaction, while the information from the Hunter Guild was relatively trivial and vague. However, Qianye learned some of Wu Zhengnan’s history from this.
Wu Zhengnan's 7th Division has been secretly dealing with the dark race for many years. The deal with Qi Yue that Qianye met was not the beginning, but an intention to open up a new channel. The main trading items on Wu Zhengnan's side are not materials, equipment or information that are of great significance to the human race, but vampire products that are equivalent to top-notch luxury goods. For Wu Zhengnan and his allies, although luxury goods did not contribute to the combat power of the human race, the profits of the latter were much higher than those of the former.
After comparing the intelligence from both sides, Qianye confirmed the authenticity of the next forbidden transaction, which was not far from Blackstream City, about two hundred kilometers away.
Qianye thought about it for a while, and then prepared to go over in person to see what the content of this forbidden transaction would be.
Wei Potian and Qianye agreed that within one month, he would bring people to Yongye Continent to remove Wu Zhengnan from the position of division commander. As for how to achieve this goal, Prince Wei naturally does not need to worry about it. The Wei family will assign him counselors who are good at this, and there will also be someone to plan the plan for him. Wei Potian only needs to nod symbolically.
So the result is that Qianye is still vague about how he should cooperate with the Wei family's actions. But one thing is always right, and that is to obtain as much evidence as possible about Wu Zhengnan's forbidden transactions. The more such evidence, the less likely he is to escape from impeachment.
In the early morning of the next day, Qianye boarded the airship flying to Black Current City. At noon, Qianye left Blackstream City and entered the wilderness with a big backpack on his back.
Shortly after Qianye left, Blackstream City suddenly became noisy and noisy. A whole group of heavily armed soldiers rushed to the gate of the city. After questioning the guards carefully and failing to get the point, the group of soldiers turned around in frustration.
In Blackstream City, Qi Sicheng was sitting in his study, listening to the soldiers' reports with an extremely ugly expression. When he heard that no one had been arrested, he couldn't help but became furious. He cursed the two non-commissioned officers who reported back and drove them all out.
After the study room was clear, Qi Sicheng stood up, looked at the map spread out on the table, and pondered for a long time. In fact, the information he received was very vague, and it was expected that he would not be able to arrest anyone.
"Who is so interested in our transaction? However, can you intervene in this kind of thing casually? Be careful not to break your claws!"
